Raintree 2 With a Friend

Summary: With a Friend

This poem emphasises that the simple things in life can be fun if you share them with a

friend—walking, talking, sharing an umbrella, playing, staying, eating, riding, learning and

explaining.

It also tells us that it is okay to disagree with a friend on certain points as friendship does

not mean letting go of one’s individuality. Jealousy has no place in true friendship and we

must feel pleased and proud of our friend’s achievements.

The poem gives us the message that true friends support each other through thick and thin.
